Curious what the components of your 'deep litter' was/is...other than the poop?
I'd re-pile it in layers with dry materials(straw and/or hay) as the 'wet' is what's causing the odor.
Might even add in some larger, slower 'browns' like twigs/small branches to maintain some air/oxygen spaces within the pile.
Might even throw some powdered composting biologics in the layers to get things going.
Get the right mix and it may even heat up and start to decompose despite the cold ambient temps.
Adding some zeolite/PDZ to the layers might help...or maybe spread on top after re-layering.
Don't think there's a fast and/or easy answer to this problem.
Sorry for your sniffer.
